1. كيفَ خانَت عينُ الرقيبِ الرقيبا

    أخطأتني لما رأيتُ الحَبيبا

    How did the watcher's eye betray the watcher?

    It missed me when I saw my beloved.

  2. رَحمتني فساعدتني فقَبل

    تُ بعيني مَع الحبيبِ الرقيبا

    It took pity on me and helped me, so I kissed—

    with my eye—the watcher along with my beloved.
